Kelly Clarkson's waistline has gotten a lot tinier. "The Kelly Clarkson Show" host has made headlines for dropping an impressive 37 pounds – unlike many celebrities, though, Kelly has opted out of flaunting the achievement via high-profile interviews. Nor is she cashing in by promoting suspect weight-loss products.
What you see is what you get with Kelly. The "American Idol" winner and reality judge keeps it real, her fashion choices are rarely a miss, and she's delivered a whole new batch of looks via a new Instagram post.

Kelly updated her Instagram on Wednesday, posting seven photos. All showed the blonde looking stylish as she posed simply – hands on her waist is the 37-year-old's standard.
Kelly opened her LookBook with a leggings, shirt, and open duster look, opting for rusty oranges and browns as she showed off her cinched waist via a studded belt. While brands here included designers such as Celine and Alexander McQueen, other looks proved easier on the wallet – Kelly wore a fun star-print dress from affordable clothing retailer ASOS.

Perhaps the sexiest look was Kelly's Alexander McQueen and A.L.C. one. Here, the star was standing on-set and smiling for the camera in a high-waisted and pleated black leather skirt rising just above the ankle. A chic red-and-black striped shirt with a flattering neckline offset the leathers perfectly, with Kelly also rocking a platform pair of heels.
Regardless of the varied looks, Kelly was sporting her signature bold red lip, with her bombshell blonde hair also seen worn down and cascading around her shoulders.

Kelly mostly received the thumbs-up from her fans. Comments and likes came in fast, with the latter siting at over 13,000 by the time the update was an hour old.
"Love the stars," one fan wrote.
"I love the stars one," another added, clearly also loving the ASOS dress. "You look amazing!" was another comment, with another fan saying: "Gorgeous."
Then again, some less flattering remarks did come in, with one fan writing: "I love you. But you do wear some freaky stuff."
Meanwhile, another said: "You are beautiful and more! But some of these look like gramma dresses! The first one are the best."

Kelly hasn't spoken too much about her weight-loss journey, although she did speak to Hoda Kotb last year.
Per Kelly's words, the slimming down wasn't your standard deal of putting the pizza down and upping the steps per day.
“I had an autoimmune disease and a thyroid problem that started in 2006. I read this book, it’s called The Plant Paradox and it might not work for you but it worked wonders for me,” Kelly said.
“For me, it wasn’t really [about] the weight—for me, it was that I’m not on my medicine anymore," she added.
